Just in time for the holidays Panasonic has announced the release of a new 12-35mm (equivalent to 24-70) Leica DG Vario-Elmarit f2.8 ASPH Power OIS lens for its MFT cameras that is actually a redesign of its old GX Lumix that offered the same focal length.
The specs on the new lens are excellent and include a Nano Crystal Coating to reduce lens flare and ghosting and a POWER Optical Image Stabilizer as well as a constant f2.8 aperture that enables better shooting in low light.
Considering what it has to offer - not least of which is Leica lens quality - the optic is reasonably priced at $900 and is currently available for preorder at B&H. It's not an item that I desperately need, but it would certainly be a big improvement to the Panasonic lenses I am currently using on my Lumix G9 to the extent I will almost definitely purchase one sometime in the near future.
